问题     Last year’s economy should have won the Oscar for
the best picture. Growth in gross domestic product was
4.1 percents;  profits soared; exports flourished; and             【M1】______
inflation stayed around 3 percent for the third year.
Though why so many Americans give the picture a lousy              【M2】______
rating? The answer is jobs. The macroeconomic situation
was good, and the microeconomic numbers were not.                  【M3】______
Yes, 3 million new jobs were there, but not enough
of them were temporary, good jobs paying enough to                 【M4】______
support a family. Job security was rampant (猖獗的).               【M5】______
Even as they announced higher sales and profits,
corporations acted as if they were in a tailspin, cutting
516,069 jobs in 1994 alone, almost as much as in the               【M6】______
recession year of 1991.
    Yet, unemployment went down. But over 1 million
workers were so encouraged that they left the labor                【M7】______
force. More than 6 million who wanted full-time job
were only partially employed; and another large group
was either unqualified or sheltered behind the euphemism
of self-employment. We lost a million good manufacturing
jobs between 1990 and 1995, continuing the trend has               【M8】______
reduced the blue-collar work force from about 30 percent
in the 1950s to about half that today. White-collar workers
found out they are no longer immune. For the fast time,            【M9】______
they are let go in numbers virtually equal to those for
blue-collar workers. Many resorted to temporary work with
lower pay, fewer benefits but less status.                        【M10】______
    All that in a country where people meet for the first
time would say, “What do you do?” [br] 【M1】
选项
答案 percents改成percent
解析 名词的单复数误用。在数词后面percent应用单数形式。
